Reminds me a bit of Frederic Emile with a bare kiss of sweetness on the finish. Some incipient petrochemical scents, lemon lime twist on slate, just beautiful.

(Hiedler Riesling Gaisberg) ($37.00) Again markedly dark aromas, char and bilberries, botrytis; it flirts with severity but offers enormous (if currently inscrutable) minerality. Feels like it needs seven hours in a carafe. Superb potential but backward – in bottle 17 days, which must be why it seems a little cranky.

Terrific match with foie gras. Combined minerality with just a touch of (appropriate) sweetness, and had nice finish.

Pineapple, faint petrol, rocky, clean, and pure. Better 24 hours later. Good acidity and has that citrus squeezed on rock thing I like.
